Steve Jobs

Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

Applying the 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace

Drawing upon the lessons of great teachers such as St. Francis of Assisi, Viktor Frankl, Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and Buddha, Dr. Dyer helps you discover that you can achieve true inner peace and success by integrating 10 powerful "secrets" into your life that can transform your everyday existence into a path of spiritual enlightenment.

I read a few of the reviews for Wayne Dyer's audiobook AFTER I listened to it. I've got to believe they listened to something else. Wayne has a way of connecting with you and putting your mind in a place very few people are able to. I'm so incredible happy I had the opportunity and time to listen to this. I'm likely going to go through it a second time. He is right on the money with so many things he says. His brilliance, compassion, patience, and brutal honesty reveal the human side of him ... beautiful and insightful!

The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich

The 4 Hour Work Week explains what a lifestyle entrepreneur is and why you should want to become one. It teaches you how to "kill" your job and design a life, the 80/20 rule and how it increases productivity, how to replace your dreams with goals, and more. Listeners can lead a rich life by working only four hours a week, freeing up the rest of their time to spend it living the lives they want.

This book delves into so many different aspects dealing with efficiency. Considering I love being efficient at everything I do in life, this book had a special place in my heart. The beautiful thing is the author is right the point and really hones in on the practical aspects of his subject. I would highly recommend this to anyone not only for the specific examples he provides, but the way of thinking he proposes which can help anyone in their daily lives and routines.

The Areas of My Expertise

In the great tradition of the American almanac, The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small. Although best sellers such as Poor Richard's Almanack and The Book of Lists were certainly valuable, they also were largely true.

Based on the description and some of the positive reader comments, I was hoping to be entertained, but by the end of the first hour I gave up. This type of material is not really suited for an audio book and in my opinion this is probably the worst of all audio books I have listened to thus far
